How many consoles have broken down on you?

[Shauna]

I've broken the hinges ona DS Lite. Still worked. That's about it.

And those multiple times you red ringed your 360 playing Tales of Vesperia.

Ah yeah, same here. I got fed up after a while of having to play the damn thing either holding it in the correct position or completely flat so I got a DSi in the end.

Red Ringed once, was repaired. Still works to this day.

[Psychotic]

My original 360 suffered the red ring, but it was 3+ years into its lifespan and I used it pretty god damn heavily, so after all the hoohah about RROD I think it did quite well. That being said my original PS2 and N64 are both still kicking. My PS1 last worked when I last saw it, but then I don't think it's been booted up for 12-13 years.

[Madame Adequate]

My original PS1 was a very early model, so it fell prey to the construction flaw that meant after use the laser would be misaligned. It held on for a long long time though, thanks to miracles such as turning the thing upside down

I've had two 360s RROD on me. First got a hell of a lot of use, second not so much but it wasn't shockingly quick or anything either.

Everything else I have still works, except that my Genesis' power plug very rapidly overheats for some reason. Not that I know where the thing is these days.

2.

PSOne, shorted by an action replay cart.

Nintendo DS, got someone's foot to it during a party when they weren't looking where they were going >_>

Other than that I've never had an issued with my consoles dieing on me.

[Crop]

Still have my SNES, Master System, PS1 and PS2. The only console I've had die on me is my PS3. I've had 2 of them conk out on me, and after the second time I just didn't bother replacing it. That was 2 years ago.

The fact that my PS2 still works after the amount of hours I've put into it is incredible. Same with my PS1. They're the consoles I've played the most in my lifetime and they're still going strong.

[Jessweeee♪]

All but the PS2 are still functional. That one stopped reading blue discs so I tried to fix it myself, but then it stopped reading discs at all. I think if I just install a new laser it'll work okay. No use buying another, they'll all old enough to be having the same problem with the blue discs.

[Colonel Angus]

Thankfully, everything still works, the last I checked.

But the last time I loaded up my Game Gear it didn't seem quite right, but still worked.

[Ayen]

My brother's old NES is a shadow of its former self, our old Sega Genesis broke down, and the first PlayStation that was passed to me had to be put upside down in order to play discs, but none of the consoles I actually bought have broke down.

[Bolivar]

Oh yeah I had a hinge problem with my DS Lite, too, but Nintendo fixed it free of charge ^_^

[Newmani]

I lost a SNES to a faulty circuit somewhere, my brother lost an Xbox 360.... we lost a PS3 and a PS2.... My GBA SP also got snapped in half (amusingly it still works though)... and that's just about it.

[Depression Moon]

2 PS2 and 1 PS3. They don't make consoles like they used to; my SNES, Gameboy Color, and N64 are still kicking. If I still had my NES I bet that would still be working too.

[Tigmafuzz]

I bricked a 360 once somehow while updating the homebrew. Wasted all that JTAG work. I had a PS2 that crapped out on me, but my other one still works aside form the laser being worn out. Other than that though, I can't think of any other consoles I've had that just stopped working.
